SOBRIETY CHECKPOINT

     During the weekend of July 30, 2021 through August 1, 2021, the North Penn Area DUI Enforcement Team will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint in the North Penn Area along Route’s 463, 309, 63 or other roadways.  This effort is to identify and remove impaired drivers from the roadway and to help prevent alcohol related vehicle crashes and fatalities.  DUI Patrols will also be conducted in several North Penn area police department jurisdictions which will include route Routes 363, 29, 152 and 663.
